In the Shadow of the Light - ACMI Cinemas July 14, 2007

Direct from its European premiere, this lovingly crafted document on Jonas Mekas is a testament to the vitality of cinema and a man widely considered one of godfathers of the American avant-garde. Within the walls of Anthology Film Archives (Mekas was one of the founders), the camera captures treasures unearthed, screenings, friends and Mekas' memories and passions. Shot almost 60 years after his arrival in New York, In the Shadow of the Light is a fitting companion for Lost Lost Lost, providing an updated footnote (or introduction) on Mekas' essential role in creating and preserving film culture. Australian premiere!
